No 7 seed taken the distance in epic Ally Pally contestRatajski, Gilding and Rock also reach third round
Jonny Clayton won a sudden-death leg in the deciding set to edge past Mickey Mansell and book his place in the third round of the PDC world championship after an epic contest at Alexandra Palace.
Mansell, who impressed on his run to the semi-finals of the Grand Slam of Darts, had claimed the opening set against the darts as Clayton was made to pay for missed doubles. The Welshman, though, stormed back as he rattled off six straight legs – including a 100 checkout with a tops-tops finish – to turn the match around.
